Whether you know it or not, God’s spirit is with you all day long. There are no thoughts, no plans, no impulses, and no emotions that He does not know about. Make sure your conduct conforms to His conduct, not the world’s conduct. Don’t depend on the approval and disapproval of others. It’s what God thinks is important that counts.

“For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.” (Luke 8:17)

PRAYER FOR TODAY

The upward way is a glorious way. There are wonderful discoveries in the realm of the spirit. There we can have tender intimacy with God. There we can have an amazing understanding of other people. There we can have all the power and strength we need. We cannot make too many demands of God as long as we are moving in the upward way.“I will lift up my eyes to the hills—from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth” (Ps. 121:1–2).
